Medal heads can be discussed at the time, giving the stalker the choice of accepting the offer at the agreed price, or not.
Wounded animals are charged at the discretion of the stalker and shall be based on his assessment at the time.
We insist all wounded deer where practicable, shall be tracked and recovered, potentially occupying some considerable time the following day should they not be recovered at the time.
Stalking in Scotland offers some of the finest roe deer in the country and whilst we try not to dwell on trophy heads, it is without question, an opportunity for the impassioned stalker to afford himself the chance of what could be a lifetime treat.
Combining some of the finest stalking with beautiful countryside you have both top quality shooting and easy relaxed walking, ideal for those of us less capable of coping with the rigors of a hill stalk.
Sika Stalking:
Sika stalking can be most challenging as well as frustrating, it is clearly one of the most difficult of deer to stalk, giving very little opportunity and having a propensity to be most active just as dawn breaks and in those last few minutes before dark.
Stags vary greatly and medal animals are by arrangement only, they would be priced accordingly by your guide at the time affording you the opportunity to take the shot should you wish.

Fallow stalking:
For those who are less inclined to trek up mountains and scale great heights, our fallow stalking offers very relaxed walking and quite often can prove more successful from a high seat.
Given its location, it is typical lowland stalking with little or no great walking to be done.
It is the ideal opportunity to take a relaxed break with plenty of time for a leisurely stalk taking in the surroundings.

Equipment:
- We insist that all visitors be prepared and dress appropriately.
- Good quality clothing and boots are a must as are appropriate binoculars.
- We feel that whilst we are prepared to take clients of all capabilities, it is a huge help to us if people are prepared for what might be an uncomfortable stalk.
- You are more than welcome to use your own rifle and ammunition which must meet legal requirements, but if needs be, a suitable rifle shall be supplied.
- Relative to the clients experience and confidence, it may be that you are asked for proof of zero by demonstration.
Accommodation:
As with all our hunting trips we can arrange accommodation and are in touch with a number of suitable establishments to best suit your requirements.
